The A’s game was extremely fun. The highlight, though, was waiting for Eric Chu wait in line for a hot dog. He wanted a polish dog, and the cashier told him to wait a minute. He ended up waiting 20 whole minutes just for them to complete making one polish dog. Amber, Ashley, Monica, and I waited...

Three men in a row with three cups of beer. “You idiot,” says one, “why are you wearing shorts when its THIS cold?!” Another man with another cup of beer joined these three men and that’s when it all started. Two of the four men were the Oakland A’s fans donning yellow and green attire. The...
